Reviews

Freedom has very few complaints with the BBB, which is why I went to them. I have to say that from the beginning they seemed professional and like they wanted to resolve my tax problem, not just charge me money. They don't have a money back guarantee like some places, though, so keep that in mind. You and they want to be sure they can help before you pay them.

what they say if its to good to be true it must not be. well not true at freedom tax relief. freedom tax relief got my tax debt reduced from 52k to 1,476$ they also removed all the leins from the irs what they told me they did. i was informed from start to finish i would highly recommend freedom tax relief thank you again freedom tax relief.
